Mike Coffman, the Republican Congressman who took a stand against Donald Trump earlier in this campaign, paid a small price for it on Tuesday night.

Coffman was at the Colorado GOP’s election-night event in Greenwood Village, where he took the stage to acknowledge that he had likely beat Democrat Morgan Carroll and won re-election to the U.S. House.

As he did, he was heckled — “Who’d you vote for?” one person exclaimed, which was followed by booing. “Trump! Trump!” people shouted.

Coffman got applause and cheers as well, especially as he moved on to promise a continued fight “against the culture of corruption and bureaucratic incompetence inside the VA” and for a balanced budget.
